Design Considerations for Pearl

Heavy Coverage

The use of heavy coverage or full color backgrounds is not suitable for this stock. Minimalistic designs are best! If your design has a lot of color and heavy coverage, we suggest a white and coated stock for optimal results.

Color (Paper and Inks)

While lighter Pearl shades, like Pearl Silver, will be suitable for most colors, note that if you choose a colored Pearl stock, the color of the paper stock will affect the overall appearance of your design. Lighter colors of your design may not be very visible on a colored stock, and medium to darker colors tend to appear darker when printed on a colored stock. Darker colored stocks are only suitable to be printed with dark colors and black. Minimal colors and simple designs are best.

If you are using a color in your design and are unsure of how the printed piece will appear, you may order a Printed Proof by submitting a Custom Quotation.
